Looking to get into Sporting Clays / Suggestions?

[krieghoff]

I see you are in Katy. If you are looking for an instructor, you have some very good ones in your area. I personally would contact Adam Blair at Westside sporting grounds. He is a very good instructor and I'm sure he could help you out. Talk to him about what your goals are and what gun he suggests. If you have never shot sporting much, I would recommend a good semi-auto to start with. They're easier to move than an o/u and a little more forgiving for a beginner imo. I shot a Beretta 391 in competition for 11 years before going to a Blaser o/u. I'm still not sure I can't shoot the 391 better lol.

Krieghoff, I bet we know each other if you've been shooting sporting that long. Were you at nationals last week?

David you are right on. We do know each other and have shot together from time to time at CCT&S. I will let you keep guessing!! No I wasn't at the Nationals as I spent most of the week working at the ranch.

Aw crap, now you're gonna make me have to think! lol

Just sent you an email!!

I stopped by Briley on the way home from work tonight and spent some time with Gretchen.

She spent quite a bit of time with me discussing the differences (pros and cons) between over/under and semi-auto shotguns. She set out several of each and we went through them and the various features. She was very patient and answered all of my questions.

Her advice was to go out and shoot several different ones and then buy. I will definitely buy from them once I decide.
